Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are already here!  I hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoy lots of turkey, dressing, and pumpkin pie!  We are headed to North Richland Hills to have Thanksgiving at April’s house and then tomorrow we are getting up bright and early for Black Friday shopping!  We may even head to Allen for the midnight specials!  I hope everyone has a happy holiday weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday, Jason!

Wow! I can’t believe 28 years ago I was born on Friday the 13th which also happened to be my big brother’s 7th birthday (you can do the math-jk)! Thanks for letting me share this day with you!

I am so blessed to have a wonderful, loving brother like you. You always put your family ahead of yourself and you are a great uncle to Jonathan and Emily! I can’t wait for Ethan to know how lucky he is to have his Uncle J!

Remember when mom and dad bought us jousting sticks—you were relentless. Remember when you decided to collect bugs for your bug collection late at night outside my window. April and I ran down the hall screaming and dad comes out with his gun! Remember when you strapped me to a kneeboard and said hold on—maybe that’s why I love the lake so much now. I remember all those times as a child I was so proud you were my big brother. Thank you for all the love, harassment, and memories. I hope you have a great birthday!

Ethan’s Room

Last weekend at First Monday, we got the bedding!  It is so cute and so perfect!  Ethan’s room is starting to come together!  Dirk’s mom and dad bought the bedding!  Thanks Dave and Teresa!  Ethan has two wonderful sets of grandparents!  Here is a picture of the bedding:

IT’S A BOY!

The day we have been waiting for since we found out we were pregnant finally came!  On Friday, Dirk and I, along with our moms had a sonogram and found out it is a BOY!

When the sonogram tech stopped over the parts—I knew immediately.  He was very proud.  I proclaimed that it’s a boy before she could say and Dirk’s eyes started to light up; then she typed BOY on the screen and at that moment I wish I had a camera.  Dirk’s mouth dropped and his eyes were as big as saucers! 

Dirk desperately wanted a boy so a few days prior he had been prepping himself for a girl and I secretly wanted a boy so from the beginning told myself it was a girl!  Needless to say we are excited!  We are going to name him Ethan Daniel!  We love the name Ethan and Daniel is after my dad.

Here are pictures from the sonogram—It is kind of hard to see!

We went shopping on Friday and this is some of what we bought!  Gotta love the mom onesie!  He is gonna be a momma’s boy!  We are headed to first monday today to see what else we can find—there goes our budget :)
